try mo sa hahn manila meron din sila na sharpening stone dun with manual and video yata. in line with this topic ask ko lang curious lang.... i'm usung a cerrated spyderco knife how would you sharpen one like this? i know its supposed to last a lifetime pero what if lang

Spyderco and some other companies have a special set of sharpening rods for use on serrated knife edges. If you can't find them at Hahn, try S.O.E. (Survival and Outdoor Equipment), a great shop at the basement of Makati Cinema Square. You can inquire with them over the phone -- (02) 848-1436.

I also have a Spyderco, but it's only 50% serrated. The thing I do is just use the plain edge as much as possible, and leave the serrated edge unused. Syempre, mas madali i-sharpen yung plain edge.

AFAIK, sa gilid ng mga palengke meron usually naghahasa ng kutsilyo, pero gaya ng sinabi ni bud wiser nung 2004, pwede naman ito pag-aralan.

There are a lot of free knife sharpening videos and tutorials on the web. I also sharpen my bolos and other knives by myself, and it's not difficult to get a good cutting edge once you get the hang of it.

you need a good oilstone,various grade of sanding cloth and a polishing powder. be aware of the angle in which you hagod your blade. as different angles account for diffeent finishes. a high angle is good for a nice sharp edge but not good at keeping it,while a lesser angle will not be as sharp but will hold the edge longer. after that,use a sanding cloth/paper until you get the desired polish,then finish off the fine swirls with polishing powder...dont forget to put wd40 after to keep the blade from rusting. rubbing compound will also do(the one sold in watch repai shop supplies/jewelry supplies). nothing says more about you commitment to your craft than a well polished and maintained blade

i sharpen my surgical instrument using arkansas stone which i bought from the company that sells the surgical sets.

stroke it on the same angle as the tips of the blades hold the stone on left hand, the instrument on your right and direct the stroke one way only and away from the stone.

use curved stone for curved cutting tips, flat for flats

Bumili ka nalang ng "Chef Choice Diamond Electric Sharpeners". In seconds professionally sharpened your knife in a razor edge which is good kung ang mga knife mo ay mamahaling kutsilyo like those surgical blade knife(ex:cutco knife).
